1. Chemical Stripping
2. Sandblast
3. Engraving and Preparation
4. Pre-Treatment
All wheels are put through an 11 stage pre-treatment process. This is designed to clean and then convert the surface of the wheel from aluminum, which by nature will corrode and oxidize, to a corrosion resistance substrate. Tanks are used rather than spray systems as this technique guarantees the levels of pre-treatment are consistent and effective.
5. Powder Coat Primer
6. Wet Coat Application
7. Acrylic Clearcoat Application
The acrylic powder is applied applied via two Corona electrostatic powder charge tubes to the feature face of the wheels. The wheels are rotated under each charge tube, the rotation alternates between stations. The wheels leave the clear coat line and enter the transfer enclosure where they are again transferred by robot to the independent conveyer which transports the wheels through the clear powder curing oven.
We use advanced acrylic clear coat application rather than wet lacquers used by other paint operations as this will give the customer a longer lasting finish provided the wheels are looked after and regularly cleaned. Acrylic clear powder coats are fast becoming the recognised leader in the requirements of major OEM customers. The water clear clarity of these coatings, the luster and depth of gloss are visually without parallel. These all add dramatically to the finished product.
8. QC Inspection
The wheels exit the curing oven and are transported to the warehouse through a cooling down loop, this is were the wheels are 100% inspected for appearance
